Let's divide 471156 by 74
We want to divide 471156 by 74.

Let's proceed to step 1:
74 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 74

On to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 74, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 471 / 74

On to step 3:
74 goes into 471 6 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 444 from 471.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 271 by 74, we get 3 and a remainder of 49.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 222 from 271 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 495 / 74

Step 5:
74 can be fit into 495 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 636.0
If we take 444 away from 495, we end up with 51.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 516 / 74

Moving on to step 6:
74 can be fit into 516 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6366.0
If we subtract 444 from 516, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
720 divided by 74 is 9 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6366.9
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 540 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6366.97
If we take 518 away from 540, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
74 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6366.972
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 720 by 74, we get 9 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6366.9729
Subtracting 666 from 720 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
74 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6366.97297
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 518 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
220 divided by 74 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6366.972972
Deduct 148 from 220 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 74 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6366.9729729
Subtract 666 from 720 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
74 goes into 540 7 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6366.97297297
Subtracting 518 from 540 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 6366.97297297 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
